CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2013-2014 Honda Accord is showing signs of an electrical problem with the starter failing soon after the 36K mile warranty expires. It's compounded by reports that the OEM battery doesn't have sufficient amps to start the V6 reliably after a year or two.
For now we are rating this problem with the "Beware" seal because it's occurring so soon after the 36K mile warranty expires. The upshot is when your Accord won't start, that's never good, but especially bad when it's just a few years old.
Also once again, owners are complaining that the 2014 Honda Accord seats are uncomfortable. Uncomfortable seats has been a significant complaint with the Accord since the 2008 model year.
A few months after I had replaced the starter on this new 2014 accord, the serpentine belt broke apparently because of the water pump! So, the water pump had to be fixed and the cost was about $350.00 done by a friend who is a mechanic. I am so disappointed in Honda, supposedly "the reliable car." based on my personal experience, the so-called reliable car is no more the make I will buy.
